IPタイム A3004NS-M

Reviewed in May 2024 by i46 s.r.o  🛈    |    Conclusion of the Fast Check: 🔴

Important. This router has been sold by IP-Time since at least 2019. Unless a major feature, impacting the security of the router, is deployed post CRA-enactment, it will not be required to comply with the CRA.

This Fast Check is for information purpose only.

Its “old” age may also explain why it does not follow cybersecurity best practices, and the reasons for declaring it as non-CRA compliant. Indeed, during the analysis of the router, i46 found that three core requirements of the CRA were not met:

  • Annex I, paragraph (b): “be made available on the market with a secure by default configuration, unless otherwise agreed between manufacturer and business user in relation to a tailor made product with digital elements, including the possibility to reset the product to its original state”;

  • Annex I, paragraph (d): “ensure protection from unauthorised access by appropriate control mechanisms, including but not limited to authentication, identity or access management systems, and report on possible unauthorised access;”

  • Annex I, paragraph (j): “be designed, developed and produced to limit attack surfaces, including external interfaces;”

 

Below, i46 details a few core features of the router, and provides their compliance findings for each of them.

Compliance Table

Feature

Findings

Compliance with the CRA

Unique Password

The admin access credentials to the device are admin (username) and the password includes the device unique ID number

🟢 Yes

Minimal surface (physical)

The device includes RJ-45 ports, power and reset ports

🟢 Yes

Minimal surface (software)

Port 80 (http) is open

🟢 Yes: this port is required for device management.

Minimal surface (software)

Port 661 (printer) is open

🔴 No: as printing is an optional feature of the router, this port should be opened only when needed, in order to avoid potential risks.

(Severity: Medium)

Minimal surface (software)

Port 57605 (remote management?) is open

🔴 No: the function of this port is unclear. We suspect it might be used for remote maintenance, which is prohibited by the CRA. A redesign of the maintenance feature is required to certify this router.

(Severity: High)

As shown in the above table, the IP-Time A3004NS-M fails i46’s Fast Check.

While the device does not need to comply with the Cyber Resilience Act, due to being manufactured before the Act’s enactment, it bears highlighting that the weaknesses identified during the Fast Check means that businesses and people wishing to use this router should proceed with caution.
